Lloret de Mar: Catamaran Cruise with Food, Drinks, and Music

The best part of this Lloret de Mar cruise is the change of pace: one moment you’re sailing past the Costa Brava’s coves, the next you’re swimming beside the boat or listening to a DJ. It’s a social, activity-filled trip, not a quiet sightseeing sail.

I like two things in particular: the food and drinks are included, so you’re not paying for every snack at sea, and the boat offers several ways to get into the water, from snorkeling to a slide and upper-deck jumps.

One consideration: this is a party cruise, with music, games, and drinks at its core. The swimming can be a highlight, but getting back aboard may be awkward, so take care on the ladder and follow the crew’s instructions.

At a glance

  • Coastline under sail: The cruise runs along the coves of the Costa Brava between Lloret de Mar and Sant Feliu.
  • A meal comes with the fare: Expect freshly cooked burgers with toppings, hot dogs, and tuna salad.
  • Drinks are included: Beer, cava sangria, soft drinks, and water are served on board.
  • The water break is active: You can swim, use snorkeling equipment, try the waterslide, jump from the upper deck, or lounge on floating blocks.
  • Entertainment is part of the trip: A DJ, games, and onboard entertainers set a lively tone.
  • Adults only: The activity is not suitable for children under 18, and bachelor party groups are not allowed.

Three hours on the Costa Brava

This is a compact outing with a clear aim: combine a coastal sail with food, drinks, music, and time in the sea. The catamaran heads along the rugged stretch between Lloret de Mar and Sant Feliu, where coves and open views make the ride more than a floating lunch break.

The trip lasts three hours. That’s long enough to settle in, eat, enjoy the coast, and get wet, but short enough to fit into a busy day in Lloret. Exact departure times depend on availability, so check the schedule when booking.

Don’t expect a quiet cruise with a running commentary on every headland. The emphasis here is on having fun aboard, with the views as the backdrop. If you want a peaceful sail or a detailed history of the coastline, this probably isn’t your best match. If you want to spend a few hours with friends, music, and a swim, it makes more sense.

From Passeig Agusti Font to open water

The meeting point is Passeig Agusti Font 4 in Lloret de Mar. Transfers are not included, so you’ll need to make your own way there. The address is on the seafront, and one attendee found the boat easy to locate along the beachfront. Still, allow time to find the exact boarding spot rather than arriving at the last minute.

Once aboard, the atmosphere is set by the crew and the music. Onboard entertainers lead games and activities, while the DJ keeps the sound going. Olivia is one entertainer named in accounts of the trip, and her dance-led Zumba session was a particular hit. You don’t have to join in, though the format is designed to get people involved.

That mix of participation and choice matters. You can dance, take part in a game, or keep to your own patch of deck and watch the coast. The boat’s social mood may feel welcoming if you’re traveling with friends, but it can be less appealing if you’re hoping to read quietly in the sun.

Coves, coastline, and the view from the boat

The cruise follows the Costa Brava between Lloret de Mar and Sant Feliu, taking in the coves of this stretch of coast. From the water, you get a different angle on the shore than you do from the beach or a town street. The scenery is a real part of the outing, though the available details don’t promise a stop at a particular cove or a guided account of what you’re seeing.

That’s worth keeping in mind when you weigh the sightseeing. You’ll have time to look out over the coast while the boat is under way, but the trip’s main focus is a lively day at sea, not a close-up coastal tour. Keep your sunglasses handy, and don’t spend the whole ride looking down at your phone.

The best way to think of the route is as a scenic setting for the rest of the experience. The coves give the cruise its sense of place, while the swimming and entertainment supply most of the action. If the view is your top priority, you may want a quieter excursion; if it’s one ingredient in a fun afternoon, this balance should suit you.

The buffet and included bar

Food is part of the price, with freshly cooked hamburgers and a choice of toppings, hot dogs, and tuna fish salad. This is straightforward boat-trip fare rather than a restaurant meal. It’s useful to have a proper bite included, especially when swimming and being out in the sun can make you hungry.

Expect a casual serving setup. One attendee wished for plates and cutlery with the salad, and another found the food only average. I’d treat the buffet as convenient fuel, not a reason to book the cruise. If you have particular dietary needs, the information provided doesn’t specify alternatives, so check directly before you reserve.

Beer, cava sangria, soft drinks, and water are included. The bar is a major part of the value: you can enjoy drinks during the trip without adding each one to a running bill. Service has been described as quick, but the exact pace may depend on how busy the boat is. Drink sensibly, especially if you plan to swim. Being steady in the water matters more than keeping up with the party.

Swim time, snorkeling, and the slide

The water activities are the cruise’s big change of scene. You can swim, borrow snorkeling equipment, use floating blocks, try the waterslide, jump from the upper deck, or bounce on the trampoline. A substantial swimming break is part of the experience; one account describes about an hour in the sea, though the exact timing is not specified as fixed.

The jump from the upper deck is an obvious draw if you like a splashy entrance. The slide offers another way into the water, while the floating blocks give you somewhere to rest between swims. Snorkeling gear is available on board if you want to look for Mediterranean sea life. You don’t need to take part in every activity: a cold drink and a float can be the better plan if you’d rather relax.

There is one practical caution. Getting back onto the boat after swimming has been described as difficult, and one person found it potentially dangerous. Take your time, use the boat’s designated way back aboard, and follow the crew’s instructions. If you’re not confident in the water or on a ladder, think through whether the swim stop will feel comfortable for you.

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and flip-flops. Those simple items make the shift from deck to water much easier. The boat supplies the listed water activities and snorkeling equipment, but it’s sensible to bring your own essentials rather than assume they will be available.

What the $57 fare gets you

At $57 per person, the price includes the three-hour cruise, food, drinks, water activities, and entertainment. That’s solid value if you’ll make use of several parts of the package. Add up a meal, a few drinks, and a paid activity on shore, and the included extras can make the boat trip a practical choice for an afternoon out.

The value depends on what you want. If you’re keen to swim, listen to music, and join in with games, the bundled price is easy to understand. If you don’t drink, don’t want to swim, and prefer quiet sightseeing, you may feel you’re paying for features you won’t use. The buffet is described as good by some and average by others, so I wouldn’t base the decision on the food alone.

You can reserve now and pay later, and cancellation up to 24 hours in advance is available for a full refund. Those terms provide some flexibility if your plans are not settled, but remember that transport to the meeting point is not included.

The atmosphere, and who will enjoy it

The strongest feature is the crew’s role in keeping the trip lively. The entertainers lead games and activities, and the DJ supplies the soundtrack. Olivia’s energy has been singled out, including a Zumba session, but the general format is bigger than any one person: it’s a group party on the water, with room to join in or sit back.

The mood will depend partly on the people aboard. One account describes an unusually quiet group that left the organizers working hard to lift the energy. That’s a useful reminder: the crew can set the tone, but they can’t guarantee that everyone will want to dance or play along. If you go with friends and bring a light mood, you’ll have more control over your own afternoon.

The cruise is not suitable for anyone under 18. Bachelor party groups are not allowed, and the boat’s rules also prohibit alcohol or drugs brought aboard, intoxication, and costumes. Those restrictions are worth noting if you’re planning a celebration: it’s a party atmosphere, but not an anything-goes booze cruise.

Small drawbacks worth knowing

A three-hour trip packs in a lot, but a few details may affect your comfort. Toilets have been described as unclean, and the food can be ordinary rather than memorable. Neither is a deal-breaker for everyone, but it’s better to board with realistic expectations.

The swimming access deserves the most attention. The ladder or return route can feel challenging after a swim, so don’t rush back aboard or assume it will be effortless. If you’re traveling with someone who may need extra support, the available information does not spell out accessibility arrangements; check with the operator before booking.

The boat rules are part of the experience, not fine print to ignore. Follow crew directions around the water, the slide, and jumps from the upper deck. A lively trip works best when everyone treats the activities with care.

Should you book this Lloret catamaran cruise?

Book it if you want an energetic afternoon with coastal views, included food and drinks, music, and a proper swim stop. It’s especially suited to adults traveling with friends who enjoy a social atmosphere and want several activities folded into one fare.

Skip it if you’re after a quiet sailing trip, a polished meal, or a detailed coastal tour. Also think twice if climbing back aboard after swimming could be difficult for you. For the right mood and group, though, this is a good-value way to trade a few hours on the beach for a few hours at sea.
